Trip Down Memory Lane

With Drift-In

A Little About Us

Our journey started back in 1987 when we purchase our first laundrette in Ely called Launderama, It dated back from the old sixties franchise launderettes and required total refurbishment with new washing machines, dryers and décor, We were one of the very first laundrette to be fully staffed and have a Dry Cleaning Agency at that time.

With the success of our Ely venture we open our second laundrette on Holton Road in Barry, with our mother joining our business making the laundrette very successful with her friendly and helpful character, always happy to have a gossip with all her customers.

In 1989, we purchase a closed laundrette called Drift-In on Salisbury, Road. The owner recalled the name Drift-In was a play on words for a soap powder called Dreft back then. We kept the name and have diversified with the ever-changing trends investing in our laundrette with the latest machines and introducing new services like HubBox click and collect parcel system.

We appreciate you the customer have made our laundrette the success it is to today.

Big Thank You

My Beautiful Laundrette

During the early nineties we provided the student's at Arts & Drama collage sound material and props so that they could put on their production of "My Beautiful Launderette" apparently it was a sell out, we help out a lot in those days when the only warm place to learn your lines or practice your singing was at the local launderette.

Absolutely outstanding service. Dropped in two king size duvet covers full of washing. Whole lot was washed, dried and folded. The gentleman behind the counter even helped carry out the lot to the car. Highly recommend their services. Very good prices too.

My son and I are more or less homebound so Drift-in Launderette is indispensable us – they are welcoming, warm and so helpful if you pop in to use their facilities - OR – they can pick up your dirty washing and return it washed clean - ironed as well if you wish! We could not ask for more. They are friendly, speedy, efficient and inexpensive. Students love it but so do 94 years old’s like me
